Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

He turned on the light. There was no one in the single dormitory. He walked to the table and touched the rabbit with a red ribbon, and then entered the bathroom.

He turned on the faucet, and the water rushed down. He lowered his head, scooped up water and splashed it on his face. The cold and biting feeling gradually awakened his swollen brain.

"Humph……"

A low chuckle sounded behind him.

"!!"

Kuroki instantly stood on his head with hair all over his body!

He looked up in disbelief, and before he could wipe it off, the water rolled down his face to his chin.

My face and neck were completely wet, and I couldn't tell whether it was water or cold sweat. A man in black with long silver hair appeared in the mirror in front of him. His dark green eyes were like the eyes of a hunting wolf, looking at him coldly.

At the same time, a hard gun barrel was pressed against his head.

----

A black Toyota parked on the side of the road at the back entrance of Mihua Yakushino Hospital.

Rabbit sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window in a daze.

He didn't know what was going on inside the hospital and at the organizational base, Miyano Shiho.

This time was different from the past when Miyano Shiho took him out to play. It was not for leisure, but for an organizational mission: Glenn picked him up from Kuroki last night and said that the base needed to clean up some animals, and he might be affected if he stayed there. And by noon today, she brought him here again.

In the middle of the process, he told her the news about Kuroki, but she just said "I got it" and didn't reply at all. She didn't mention anything about the conversation with Gin.

Rabbit understands that she doesn't say anything. After all, he can't help much in this state, and his willpower is so low. Knowing some things will still scare him, but...

He shook his head, suppressed the messy thoughts, and brought his thoughts back to the situation at hand.

How's it going with Shiho?

Is Gin going about his endless daily work of catching undercover agents and killing traitors again?

What is Glenn doing in the hospital?

The last point is what the rabbit is most worried about...or afraid of.

With Toru Amuro, he fully understood the cruelty of the undercover - Glenn had told him that it was Bobon who killed Kina Kotomine - the original author could be vague about whether the undercover would kill anyone, but he could not as he had already entered this world.

Toru Amuro knows how to kill, even on innocent people; let alone Shuichi Akai, a sniper, his sniper rifle is definitely not a kind gun.

Will Glenn kill someone?

Will... kill innocent people?

Rabbit had never, nor dared, ask Glenn this question.

He was about to raise his head to go to the hospital again, when his ears suddenly twitched.

【boom! 】

Rabbit was so frightened that he thought it was a gunfight outside the car, but he soon realized that it was not the sound beside him.

——It was received by the hearing that he transferred to the rabbit yesterday.

Something happened at Kuroki.

……

"boom!"

Bullets fired from a pistol without a silencer.

The lethality of the close range shooting was astonishing. The bullet penetrated the thigh and hit the ground. Accompanied by screams, blood spattered.

Gin chewed his cigarette and looked down at the man at his feet.

Heimu was as embarrassed as an abandoned wild dog that had been abused by a villain. He fell to the ground dragging his punctured limbs, and blood accumulated under him. Everywhere he was hit was not a vital point.

Listening to the moan coming from his mouth, Gin asked again.

"How did you get in touch with the police?"

Gin has met many members of the organization.

Some have been in the organization since they opened their eyes, some were brought into the organization when they grew up to a certain age, and some join for various reasons as adults.

The last kind has the most rats.

Most of the members responsible for assassinations and intelligence investigations are thick-skinned and ordinary interrogations cannot get them to open their mouths. The man in front of him is just a weak researcher. He only joined half a year ago. A kid from the training camp can kill him easily, but he is still here. No explanation was given.

Kuroki's eyes were open, his consciousness extremely clear, and his body was shaking due to severe pain. But he still didn't speak.

Gin sneered.

"Are you thinking about your daughter?" he said. "Glenn has gone to the hospital. I believe it won't be long before you hear the news of her death."

"!!"

Kuroki's body trembled violently, and his face covered in cold sweat was covered with fear.

Chapter 177 Father and Daughter

Mihua Yakushino Hospital.

A certain corridor on the top floor was so quiet that only the sound of wheels rolling across the ground was heard. A man pushing a wheelchair stopped in front of the examination room.

A girl of about ten years old is sitting on it. She is thin and small, with slightly curly black hair and yellowish ends. Her whole figure looks like she is wrapped in a hospital gown, and her skin is pale from long-term illness.

But her eyes were extraordinarily bright and she had a smile on her face. Seeing that the room had arrived, she got up from the wheelchair. Because her legs couldn't use any strength, she staggered. Fortunately, another man beside her helped her in time.

"Pay attention." The man frowned.

"Thank you uncle."

The girl raised a smile to express her gratitude. Her smiling face was particularly innocent. She picked up the wooden crutch next to her and stood firm alone after he put away his hand.

At this time, the doctor came out of the nearby office. He held the medical record in his hand and glanced at the three of them: "Sachiko Kuroki, ten years old, full spinal examination... Are you two her family members?"

"No, her father is busy at work. We are his father's friends and we will accompany her on his behalf."

The two men in suits answered almost in unison. Because they answered so neatly, the doctor looked at them twice.

He looked at them steadily, and finally fell on Kuroki Sachiko: "Is that so?"

Kuroki Sachiko nodded: "They are indeed my father's friends and have been staying with me these days."

"Then please take a look at the risk notification and consent form, and sign below to confirm."

The doctor handed something to one of them, and while handing it over, their hands inadvertently brushed against each other. Seeing another person curiously looking over, the doctor also gave him a process introduction that had been prepared long ago.

Their fingers also touched, which seemed to happen accidentally, and they soon separated.

"Is this your first time to accompany someone for an examination? You are not allowed to have metal objects on you during the examination. You are not allowed to bring mobile phones, hairpins, coins, etc."

The man who signed heard this and looked quickly at the other man.

They seemed very reluctant, and seemed to want to call someone to explain the matter... In the end, they did not do so. One of them lowered his head and said to Kuroki Sachiko:

"Sachiko, raise your right hand and I'll help you straighten your sleeve."

At the same time, another person approached the doctor, covering his eyes with his body, and began to ask some details of the examination.

Sachiko Kuroki raised her arms obediently, and the man flipped the neatly folded sleeves for her and folded them again. When he pulled his hand back, he had something between his fingertips.

He put his things away as if nothing had happened and listened to his companions asking questions.

This doctor was very patient. He was probably used to being asked this and that by patients or their family members before examinations. He patiently answered them one by one, and then brought Sachiko Kuroki into the examination room.

The door clicked shut, and the two sat on the seats outside the examination room.

"Ugh……"

The man who was rummaging through his sleeves just now looked at the bug he had just removed. He noticed that there were no cameras in this corridor, and complained to his companions: "It's really troublesome. Why are we here to watch the daughter of a criminal?"

……

The mission of the Japanese public security is to maintain national security, and the long-term mission of their group of police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department is to investigate and crack down on a deeply buried transnational criminal organization under the command of the National Police Department.

A month ago, a colleague discovered that members of the organization were haunting the hospital. They sent people to follow him for several days, and finally locked in Kuroki Sachiko, who was hospitalized, and followed and arrested Kuroki.

It's a pity that although Kuroki is a researcher, his joining time is too short. He has only done a few experiments and is not qualified to know the research goals of the organization. This arrest was pointless.

Considering that he has no intention of harming others and only joined the organization to make money for his daughter's medical treatment. He has never killed anyone or done any harmful experiments so far. The police did not imprison him and even reached cooperation with him——

He collected experimental materials or research materials within the organization for the police, and the police helped him contact better hospitals to treat his daughter.

It's just that both sides know very well that cooperation is the most euphemistic way of saying it. Kuroki Sachiko is in the hands of the police. Whatever they ask Kuroki to do, he can only obey their orders.

After confirming that there were no other members of the organization in the hospital, the police sent two people to monitor Sachiko Kuroki in the hospital. People were watching her during physical examinations, eating, and going to the bathroom. They did not allow her to meet or make phone calls to her father alone, and she was always equipped with a bug.

Sachiko Kuroki was seriously ill and the doctor said she could only live for another six months.

While the police were closely monitoring her, they were actively looking for better hospitals and doctors for her. They really hope this girl can live well.

After all, it is the living "hostages" that have value.

Faced with his complaint, his colleague said helplessly: "It's your boss's order, so don't talk too much."

Seeing that he was still dissatisfied, he lowered his voice and added: "Just bear with it. Someone will come over there later. I heard that he has a very strict personality, so be careful of being scolded."

The man's expression gradually returned to calmness, but his eyes were still dissatisfied. He put the bug that he was tired of playing with back into his pocket, looked at the tightly closed door of the office opposite, and unconsciously became distracted.

This time he thought of the doctor who told them not to bring metal objects inside.

The doctor was not wearing a mask, and his entire face was completely exposed. Perhaps because of hard work, his eyes were slightly green and black. He was a plain-looking man, and the only thing that stood out were his eyes.

Those eyes are brownish-red.

Something flashed through the man's mind quickly.

He vaguely remembered something - somewhere in his memory, he seemed to have seen this description of appearance somewhere...

The man felt something was wrong, but just as he stood up, the door to the examination room reopened.

Sachiko Kuroki stood there intact.

"You didn't apply for expedited treatment. The report will be out in six hours." The doctor with brown-red eyes followed and said to them.

The man was stunned for a moment.
